I completed a tutorial last night about how to make a "Spirograph" effect using multiple circles.
I've got a white background but I want a color gradient to appear in the stroke of my merged layers.
Simplified- I want the stroke to be a light color at the middle of my spirograph and then the outer areas to be darker.
Often I'm zoomed in, editing pixels up close, and I'd like to zoom out to 100% again periodically to check how it looks. What's the best way of doing this?
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi I placed some advertisments into a black-and-white (greyscale) newspaper. The ads were previously scanned images and I received them as high-resolution .JPG's. I don't have access to the original files. When they printed, some of the ads were not as vivid as I wanted. I opened them up in Photoshop and found out that the blacks are not 100% black. Some were 90%, some as low as 40%. They looked fine on my monitor and on the laser printer proofs, but on newsprint they were not dark enough. I want to increase the blacks to 100%. I'm a Photoshop newbie, so the only solution I can come up with is to open each of these ads and use the curves tool to manually pull all of the blacks up to 100% while leaving the white part of the spectrum alone. I'm not sure I'm using the curves tool correctly. Not to belabor the point, but here some screen shots of before and after. BEFORE: AFTER:If you look carefully, you can see the curves. Bassically I pulled up all of the curve to 100 percent black and just left the leftmost point where it is(which I assume is the white part of the spectrum). Is this the best approach for doing what I want to do? Thanks.

I save all gradients at:

C:UsersRHAppDataRoamingAdobeAdobe Photoshop CS6PresetsGradients

However it does (mostly) work when I import pre-made (from web) Gradients.

I don't know why this happens but it also did the same thing when I had CS5.5!
I have CS5. The bugs and broken features in AICS6, make it unusable in my workflow.

I am specifically concerned about the inability to drag global color swatches from the color panel to Gradient stops in the Gradient Panel. I use this method to update a gradient color because I find it MUCH faster than option-dragging to duplicate a stop color, then deleting the unused stop. Since I do this constantly, I find using CS6 very tedious.

I need the 9 faded into the 2, the 8 faded into the 3, etc. I would use a Gradient Fill but it simply fills all the white space with a gradient from 9 to 2. Short of selecting a space 1 pixel wide hundreds and hundreds of times, and then filling with a gradient, is there something that will let me use a 2D gradient, as it were?
how I can have an all around gradient for a rectangle.
Right now, the way I'm doing it is putting gradient on the left & right side of the rectangle, and then making a top and bottom rectangle with gradients to match the sides. This is a PITA ..

The problem is that this tutorial shows you how to create that gradient look by using the marquee tool to draw in the circles. When I use the shape tool and add in two hearts I can't use the gradient tool to create the same effect:

I cannot apply a gradient with a transparency for my gradient map! Is this the way it si supposed to work? I really Really want to apply the gradient with transparency, thus so all my black gradient bump map turns transparent.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have found what I can only assume is a bug. I have a PSD file that when opened in CS5 looks as it should. When I open it in CS6 any shape with a gradient overlay displays as black. When I choose Save for Web it displays correctly in the save window, but the file displays the shapes as black in the regular Photoshop view.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to make a gradient go from light blue to dark blue so I adjust the lower first stop to light blue and the second lower stop to dark blue.
Â
1. I do not want any transparency within the gradient, so do I just leave the stops on top in their default locations on the ends?
Â
2. Any example of how transparency in a gradient can be used?
Is it possible to make a gradient over a defined path? For example from one end of an and-sign & to the other so that one is absolute dark and the other one white and so that this gradient is as if you would draw an and-sign with a pen constantly raising pressure on the paper so that it gets darker and darker?
It is for a logo in which one side should be really dark and the other one white.
I recently started noticing very bad gradient banding when using the gradient tool. It's specifically bad when using darker colors. I also noticed when using the blur filter I get banding with dark colors also. I am working on 16 bit document.

I can easily create a preset gradient, but I see no editor anywhere. Everything I see online shows an editor UNDER the presets. CS6 for Mac is not showing this.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI used to use Ps normally, but since I've reinstalled my Windows recently so I had to reinstall Ps as well. However, when I used Gradient Overlay, it didn't work out correctly as it's supposed to do: no matter how I configured the option, it just filled a solid color instead of a gradient (as number 1 in picture). When I clicked reverse, it filled with the other solid color. Number 2 I used Gradient Tools to make it easier to compare.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to recolor a GIF with a gradient.
Most of the GIF is a solid color that I want to change from one color to another. I know the before background color (in this case blue) and after background color (in this case green). However, there are many shades of varation in the gradient that I hope can switch from a shade of blue to a shade of green automatically.
I've played with the Image > Adjust > Replace Color options, but can't seem to figure out how to exactly change the background color from the old one to the exact new one that I want.
